Homemade mustard disaster
Kristie
04/01/09 		I followed a recipe for mustard and it turned out so strong that i can't use it or give it away or anything.

It started out with soaking 1/2 cup each of yellow and brown mustard seeds in beer for 8 hours. I have added lots of vinegar of different varieties with no luck. Any ideas? Will cooking it help? Should i freeze it in tiny chunks and add it to other mustards a little at a time?

Any advice would help.

Thanks,
Kristie

Use wine to make Dijon mustard, beer makes a hearty sauce, honey makes a popular sweet mustard. You can even use concentrated fruit juice such as apple. It does mellow a little as it ages.

See this excellent guide to making homemade mustard:
